Nice humbuckers for a blues guitar?

Spicy Lauren

Thinking of changing the humbucker picksup on the aul' Ibanez cos i think the original ones sound a bit 'cheap'.

It's the Artcore AS73 model and I'm loving the feedback I get off it.

The dirtier the better. Maybe a 'vintage' kind of sound.
Recommendations?

Seymour Duncan JB in the bridge position and Seymour Duncan Jazz in the neck position. Tried and tested formula!

Even Seymour himself recommends this pair.

You can buy both together in a pack even!

Even better! I'm a lazy MF and couldn't be bothered looking anywhere else. :pac:

Spicy Lauren

I never bought stuff off ebay.
What will happen once I click on 'commit to buy'?

Doctor J

You pay them through Paypal and they post you the pickups. I bought that set from Siglers before, they were deadly to deal with and that €93 includes your postage too

Spicy Lauren

'Congratulations, the item is yours'

Thanks lads, i can't wait to get them! Ebay virgin no more and I get a great set of new PUs out of it!

Kiss kiss!

Spicy Lauren

actually, i have a question.
How do I replace the damn things. Is it difficult? Do i need other tools than just a couple of screw drivers?

Doctor J

You'll need that soldering iron you were going to borrow for the pedal

Spicy Lauren

****e i found out the drummer doesnt have one...

Doctor J

You can get em for about €20 in Atlantic or just get a guitar shop to do it for you.

Spicy Lauren

ok.

Spicy Lauren

I just wanted to say...

THANKS FOR THE ADVICE GUYS!

STUNG:pac:
Yes you have to pay unfortunately,

Spicy Lauren

fukcsake!
i wasnt expecting that!

Dord

Ouch!

Yeah, you gotta pay the man!

Just out of interest, what company shipped it (usps, dhl, fedex, ups....??)

Johnny Storm

FWIW if they cost 93 incl shipping, then 40 seems pretty high for VAT and duty ?
(unless they're using the new maths:D)

If it was FedEx, they charge a €15 "handling fee" or something like that. Bit ridiculous really.

UPS do the same. :mad:

That's why me loves USPS, or EMS. <B

Doctor J

Ah crap, sorry to hear that Lauren. If you ever get the choice ship with USPS. I didn't get hit when I ordered that set from Sigler.

Spicy Lauren

It was FedEx. Charged me 37 quid VAT.
Not to worry, I know for next time. It still comes out cheaper than buying in Ireland!!
